SNAR-A1: SNAR-A1 is a small NF90-associated RNA A gene that is encoded in multiple sites in the genome [PMC6021339]. It was identified through the Custom TaqMan Small RNA Assay and is part of a group of 14 copies of the SNAR-A genes [PMC9151912]. In a study on tumor recurrence in stage II/III colorectal cancer patients, SNAR-A1 was found to have low expression levels in the recurrence group compared to the non-recurrence group [PMC6607086]. This study also identified nine other genes (ADH1A, ADH1C, CA12, CHP2, HMGCS2, TPI1, MS4A12, PLA2G10, and PTPRO) that were associated with tumor recurrence [PMC6607086]. These genes were not previously documented in microarray-based gene expression profiling studies for predicting tumor recurrence in colorectal cancer patients not receiving Ox-based adjuvant chemotherapy [PMC6607086]. A heat map analysis showed that the expression levels of these 10 genes allowed for classification of specimens into recurrence and non-recurrence groups [PMC6607086]. Additionally, two common genes with stimulated expression were CYP24A1 and SNAR-A1 [PMC6213311].
